Digital workflows for the production of the future

DMG MORI will confirm its position as a pioneer in machine tool production at the METAV 2018 with end-to-end strategies for digitisation, integral automation solutions and innovative manufacturing technologies.

Digital Factory: consistent CELOS Workflows for digital manufacturing in the age of Industry 4.0

Automated production: integral solutions for the production of the future

Technology Excellence: more than 50 years of experience in Aerospace and Die & Mold

Digital factory, integral automation solutions, ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING and technology excellence – DMG MORI will be showcasing its complete range of manufacturing competence at the METAV 2018 in Düsseldorf from 20. to 24. February 2018 in Hall 16, Stand C31. The exhibition program will showcase 14 high-tech machines, including integral system solutions for the production of the future plus digital workflows and innovative production processes such as ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING. To round off its fair appearance DMG MORI will be presenting automation solutions with the gantry loader GX 6 and the PH 150 pallet handling as well as providing insights into the work at the DMG MORI Technology Excellence Center for Automotive and Die & Mold. DMG MORI will also be cooperating with the VDW Youth Education and Development Foundation on the joint stand Special Youth Show in Hall 17, Stand A89.

DMG MORI Path of Digitization

DMG MORI pursues a bottom-up strategy from the CELOS machine on to CELOS manufacturing and right through to the digital factory.

The digital transformation in machine tool manufacturing will also be one of the key issues at the METAV. The presentation on the exhibition will consistently pursue the Path of Digitization. The digital transformation follows a bottom-up strategy from the CELOS machine on to CELOS manufacturing and right through to the digital factory.

End-to-end solutions for the digital factory

First presented at the EMO, digital workflows for data-supported production planning and automated tool management have meanwhile undergone fine tuning. They will be available for customers as CELOS apps as early as the first half of the year. Other digital focus topics include the continuous expansion of the monitoring possibilities for optimising processes and production as well as the digital products and services. Embedded in the new manufacturer-neutral IIoT platform ADAMOS, DMG MORI offers its customers and suppliers integral and open end-to-end digitisation solutions.

Automated production: Integral solutions for the production of the future

The intelligent integration of the machine tool and automation takes place at the production locations of DMG MORI to ensure customers receive an integral automation concept from a single source.

Automation solutions are gaining in importance in efficient manufacturing. DMG MORI supports this development by ensuring all machines from its diverse portfolio can be delivered from a single source ex works as either a standard automation or as a customised automation solution. In order to strengthen the development of future-oriented automation solutions the innovation leader concentrates their knowhow with a long-standing partner: DMG MORI AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT and HEITEC AG are founding the joint venture “DMG MORI HEITEC“. One in four new machines from DMG MORI is already provided with an automation solution. In future, every machine shall be fitted with automation based on a modular system. By modular-based compatible solutions, DMG MORI HEITEC will supply customers with an integrated automation concept. During METAV DMG MORI will be showing the universal turning centre CLX 350 with the gantry loader GX 6 as well as the 5-axis machining centres CMX 70 U and DMU 50 3rd Generation – both equipped with the PH 150 pallet handling – as examples for this field of expertise.

On the market for additive systems for selective laser melting the LASERTEC SLM impresses with its high level of process reliability and efficiency. Its flexible powder module enables a powder changeover in less than two hours.

DMG MORI has been successful on the market for over four years now with its integral combination of laser deposition welding and machining on the machines in the LASERTEC 3D hybrid series. This is the basis on which DMG MORI has long established itself as a full-liner in additive manufacturing and with which it has rounded off its portfolio. While the LASERTEC 65 3D serves to supplement an existing machine park of machining centres where it is used solely for laser deposition welding, the LASERTEC SLM series expands the range to include the powder bed method using selective laser melting.

Complete solution for ADDITIVE MANUNFACTURING in the powder bed

On the market for additive systems for selective laser melting, the LASERTEC SLM impresses with its high level of process reliability and efficiency. Its flexible powder module enables a powder changeover in less than two hours. With its CELOS SLM DMG MORI offers an integral software solution for CAM programming and machine control from a single source and with a uniform user interface. Thanks to the coordinated and uniform user interface components can be programmed and the data immediately transferred to the machine in the shortest possible time – regardless of the complexity of the parts.

Experienced experts from DMG MORI are being involved in the future projects of customers at an ever-earlier stage in special DMG MORI Technology Excellence Centers.

In its respective DMG MORI Technology Excellence Centers the machine tool manufacturer offers its customers far more than just high-tech machines and performance. Experienced experts from DMG MORI are being involved in the future projects of customers at a very earlier stage. This means path-breaking production processes and complete turnkey solutions can be developed in close collaboration with the customers. “As a full-service provider we supply the entire spectrum of required components with our machines – from the smallest electrodes in die & mold construction right through to highly complex production systems needed in the automotive industry”, emphasizes Markus Piber, Managing Director of DECKEL MAHO Pfronten GmbH.
